St. Louis, Missouri Maternity Session | Photography by Justine Wright

September 12, 2019

“I met expectant mother Cassie and her husband on a beautiful July morning. Cassie radiated both a softness and strength in her individual portraits, while the portraits she shared with her husband portray an undeniable connection. It’s a beautiful thing, capturing the anticipatory moments of a couple awaiting their first child together.

Cassie and her husband, Dave, are the kind of couple that, upon meeting, you can’t help but like. Their demeanors were warm and they approached their session with a “whatever you say” kind of attitude – a photographer’s dream! Although it was wicked hot that morning, neither of them complained about the weather. Cassie, eager to have the fleeting moments of her first pregnancy captured, looked stunning as she basked in the sunshine, and between captures of her bump, I would catch glimpses of Dave watching her, adoringly.

I find expecting mothers to be the most magical of subjects – maybe it’s the quintessential pregnancy glow, or the positive energy they exude? A mix, perhaps? One thing I know for certain is that the time you spend cradling your baby inside you is fleeting, and it’s of the utmost honor to be able to document that.” Justine, Photographer
